Liquified petroleum gas; filling, storing cylinders within certain distance of public places prohibited

This bill prohibits LP-Gas permittees from filling or storing cylinders for retail sale within 3,000 feet of schools, churches, hospitals, athletic fields, or other public gathering places. It directly affects businesses operating bulk LP-Gas facilities that distribute cylinders to retailers. The key provision creates a mandatory buffer zone around these locations, with an exception for retail facilities offering cylinder exchange programs. The law, set to take effect October 1, 2026, aims to enhance safety near high-occupancy areas by restricting LP-Gas storage and handling.
